Body dissatisfaction is one of the factors leading to negative self-perception, low mood, depression, and eating disorders. This may be detrimental to students in their academic performance. However, the correlations of body image satisfaction towards body mass index and self- esteem among university female students are still unclear in Malaysia. Thus, the purpose of this study is to determine its relationships among Chinese female students. university female participants will be included with convenience sampling method. Participants will completed Ronsenberg Self- Esteem Scale and 8 items version of Body Shape Questionnaire. These 2 scales used to measure level of self- esteem and body image satisfaction.
